Trump tells Britain he does not need its help to win Iran war

14 Sept 05:00 Key points summarised by AI

Donald Trump declared the U.S. does not need Britain's assistance, specifically two aircraft carriers, to win a potential war with Iran, despite the UK considering deployment.
Trump criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially blocking U.S. use of British bases for strikes against Iran, stating he would "remember" the lack of support.
Starmer defended his decision, citing the necessity for legal and well-planned military action, though he later permitted U.S. forces to use bases for defensive strikes.
The exchange underscores ongoing friction between Trump and Starmer, who has previously criticized Trump's geopolitical comments and policies.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
